On motion of Mr. M'ELWEE, the
House of Representatives, on yesterday,
authorized the Govcrnn to borrow $1,000.-
000, on the faith of the commonwealth
from the tinned Stales bank, to meet the
ilenciency in the 1 reastiry to pay the inter

is to be temporary or permanent, at the dig
crelioh of tile Governor, anil to be made hv
tho bank in the legal currency of the consti
tution or its equivalent, according to the
provisions o f its charier.
The following in tSo provision referred
to :
"And the said corporation shall also,

Flour. The most said in the fewest
woids and the best, upon tho subject of the
low price of this article, is in the following
from the Dayton Whig" Chronicle, of
March 12.
It is now just thirty days sinco the open
ing of canal navigation al this place. In
that month more than thirty thousand bar
rels of flour have been received by ihe ca
nal, There is a strong pi obability" that this
activity in the Hour market will be kept up
till mid-summer; for two sufficient reasons.
First, because the supply is very great, and
next, because it is the best remittance to
New York and Boston, which the barter
and traffic system, of tins day allows. The
difference of exchange b'etwcoo bankable
funds here) and specie funds in New York
is alone, an ample profit. Should the com
ing crop be a full ouoof which there is now
no manner of doubt, the receipts by the ca
nal for 1840, will nearly double those of a
ny former year.
' Tho average price of flour at this placo
during last month has been about S3 50 per
barrel, 1 he price has not been regulated
so much by the rurrenry as many too has
tily suppose. The efficient cause in reduc
ing the price of flour is tho redundant sup
ply, Yu luvo passed through the irausi
turn state from a season of deficiency to one
of abundance, and are now exporting flour
